When she had seen people running from the hotel and heard their screams, Dorothea left her hideout and entered the cook`s car. He had an old van which he used to buy fresh goods from the farmers and fishers around and since it was an old car, he didn`t care to hide the keys. Dorothea had been able to pick them from a board near the side door and now, she started the engine. She could now see some flames and smoke coming from the kitchen`s window, but no one was running around here.
Dorothea drove the car around the corner and, letting the motor running, opened the load`s door and placed two planks to allow rolling heavy loads to it. A few moments later, she could see Nymphadora maneuver the laundry basket to the ramp. The hotel had no elevator and so, this ramp allowed to get heavy luggage or things like the laundry trolley from one floor to the other. She helped the Russian to roll the basket down the ramp and up the planks, onto the van`s loading area. Whilst Nymphadora was securing the trolley with a piece of rope, Dorothea run upstairs to her room and untied Pia`s ankles. The girl mewed and flailed a bit, but she just hissed:
„The enemy`s agents have set the building on fire! We have to leave, just trust me!“
She loosened Pia`s wrists and tied them behin d her back. Then, leaving the girl blindfolded and gagged, she forced her to walk with her down the ramp and to step inside the car on which`s driver`s seat Nymphadora already had taken place. Once Pia was inside, the Russian started the car and drove off. The hotel`s employees obviously were too busy with extinguishing the fire that nobody noticed their getaway.
After they had reached Brahim`s house, Nymphadora ran inside whilst Dorothea changed to the driver`s seat, all the time saying consolidating things to the gagged Pia. Then, after just a minute, she could see the Russian, carrying a bundle wrapped in a blanket over her shoulder. She dumped the trussed up Melina on the load area quite unceremoneously, then, she jumped on the van herself whilst Dorothea drove the car outside the village till they were at a barn not far from the airfield where they could park the van behind a few bushes.
„Wow, that was funny, wasn`t it?“
Nymphadora, who had jumped from the van, approached Dorothea and smiled, obviously feeling full of beans. Dorothea just looked at her watch. The whole action, from starting the fire until they had reached that place, had just lasted some 15 minutes.
From here, they could see a few clouds, but obviously, the employees had been able to get the fire under control. Now, the last problem would be to get their captives to the plane and to get it started.
„Mmhhmmph! Uuhhmmm!“
Pia once more tried to communicate through her gag and Dorothea assured her that she would be freed in just a few minutes. Nymphadora quickly walked over to the plane. She knew that if the pilot was around, he would notice her on the free field, but it seemed that he had left for a few glasses in the city.
The plane, an old double-decker, showed indeed enough resemblance towards the planes Nymphadora had flown so far and so, she ptepared the vehicle for the start. Then, she took her pocket mirror and signalled to Dorothea that she could drive the van as close as possible.
Still, there was no sign from the pilot or any other mail worker. The two girls eyamined the luggage box. It was welded to the landing gear, between the wheels, and could be loaded through a lid in the back. The opening was rather small – to small to get a hogtied woman inside. In addition, the box looked smaller than they had first thought.
„There`s room for just two of them“, Nymphadora considered. Dorothea just went for the van and opened the load area. Together, they carried Melina to the plane and, since they had to remove her hogtie, unwrapped her from the blanket. Dorothea now could see that Nymphadora had stripped her to her stockings, garters, panties and bra. Her arms were tied at wrist and elbows and securedd to her upper body by a tight crotch rope and her legs were securely tied, too. She was still gagged, but now, Sally`s discarded panties that had gagged Nymphadora before had been pulled over her head.
„So, she once more tried to fight you off?“
„No! I just like her better that way!“
There was no time to quarrel with Nymphadora and so, they shoved the weakly struggling Melina into the box. Then, they forced Nina, who was trying to fight it with much more vehemence, into the tiny room and closed the lid.
„Too bad we can`t take the others with us“, Dorothea said, but Nymphadora just padded the plane`s lower wing. The plane was made of steel and Nymphadora knew that these wings could carry the weight of a person easily. It was all a matter of balance.
Ingrid`s eyes, half covered by the pair of panties, widened when she saw the plane and she tried to squirm when the two women removed the hogtie and made her lie on the left wing. She was lying on her back, close to the rump, and her captors now connected her arms and legs under the wing, forcing her to remain there, looking up to the sky.
They secured her with some rope and then tied Elke the same way, but to the right wing, of course. The naked girl squirmed and seemed to be quite embarrassed that she now was presenting everything to everyone.
Meanwhile, Pia had been stumbling around. With her eyes blindfolded, she had been careful not to fall and she had not tried to get her bound wrists to the front so far. Nymphadora made her climb on the wing where Pia nearly stepped on Elke`s belly before she managed to get into the first, the passenger´s seat.
„I need to be able to step on the steering pedals, so, you will have to find some room beside her!“
Dorothea nodded and Nymphadora sat on the pilot`s seat. Then, she told Dorothea how to start the engine by pulling on the propeller. Once this had been done, the blonde climbed upon the plane.
„Hey! What the hell? Hey!“
It was the pilot. Togther with another man, he was running towards them. Nymphadora accelerated the motor and the plane began to roll. Quickly, Dorothea jumped into the passenger`s seat.
„Uuuhhmmph!“
She knew that she now was sitting on Pia`s lap and that this was quite inconvenient for the girl, but when they heard a shot, they knew that this was not their first problem.
Nymphadora now was trying to get to the runway. The pilot fired another shot, but then, he recognized the two pretty blondes. For a moment, he was too perplexed to fire once more nad then, he had to jump aside to avoid getting hit by the propeller. His colleague tried to climb up the plane, but Dorothea, who saw a stick lying around, threw it at his face. With a scream, the man fell off.
Now, Nymphadora was on the runway and could try to start. The situation was almost funny, with the two men running after the plane, but it took the Russian all her skills to finally get the overloaded plane off the ground only a few yards before the runway ended.
The man fired another shot, but they now were out of reach for his revolver. The plabe was rocking and shaking until Nymphadora had got acquainted with the pedals. Then, they were heading towards the open sea at a height of some 100 feet.

„I hope our passengers won`t freeze!“, Nymphadora yelled over the engine`s noise, but Dorothea was just too overwhelmed from the last hour`s experiences to participate in a conversation.
***
In the midst of the night, Sally woke up and tried to reach for her blanket. The air had become rather cold and so, she was freezing. Then, she had remembered where she was.
The full moon had allowed her to look at her bonds and indeed, she found a protruding nail close to her hands. She was sure that she would be able to open her handcuffs with it, but then, she hesitated.
Looking around, she could see Elisa and Maja sleeping close to her and in the stern, Brahim obviously had dozed off, too. Quickly, Sally considered her chances. She could open her handcuffs before anyone would notice it, she was sure. Also, she could free her legs, too, and jump overboard. But what then? They were somewhere in the Atlantic, more than hundred miles away from the next shore. Sally knew that there were quite often other boats and ships using that route, but it would be too dangerous to just swim away and trust on the little chance she would meet someone before she would drown from exhaustion.
„So, I will have to exercise patience and wait until we are closer to the shore.“
At least, she now knew that she could get free if they kept her restrained like this for the next time. Of course, she would have to behave as if she had accepted her fate. Sally knew that it meant to be touched by Brahim again. The man was gentle and he definitely knew what he was doing, but Sally felt as if she was betraying Wladimir when she did not try to fight Brahim or even responded to his caresses.
„I think that`s what they call a dilemma!“
Resigning, Sally closed her eyes and tried to find into sleep again.
***
Even with it`s additional load, the plane was quite fast and Nymphadora had quickly remembered what she had learned some years ago. So, they were heading towards the African coast with a speed of more than 100 mp/h and Nymphadora was sure that they would reach their destination within the next four hours. Though Dorothea was the only one who could understand her, she was definitely glad to hear that, since her position was nearly as uncomfortable as that of their captives.
Forced to share the narrow space with Pia, she had first tried to stay seated on the other`s lap. Of course, the girl had not appreciated to have Dorothea`s 128 lbs pressing her down and she had squirmed and writhed until Dorothea had crouched at Pia`s legs, embedding her head on the other`s thighs. Even through the skirts of the wedding dress Pia still was wearing, she could feel the warmth of the other woman`s womb. Hadn`t it been so narrow, she would even have been able to fall asleep.
With some pity, she thought of their other captives. Elke and Ingrid, who were tied to the wings, were sure suffering the worst. They were exposed to the cold air and had to face the constant fear of falling off, although Nymphadora and Dorothea had tied them tightly to the plane. The girls in the box would at least not have to look at the open sea, but they were stowed inside a narrow and stuffy box and of course, all five girls would have to suffer from their growing fear.
Meanwhile, Nymphadora was recognizing another problem: their plane was needing much more fuel than she had thought and she was afraid that they would not reach Agadir. She tried to fake that everything was okay, but she sighed with relief when she saw the shadow of the African coast appear on the horizon.
The engine began to stutter when she could already see details like trees and bushes and Nymphadora was able to bring the plane down and do an almost perfect emergency landing on a scree field.
„The eagle has landed, Ladies!“
With slightly staggering legs, she climbed out of the pilot`s seat and jumped to the ground. She quickly checked Elke and Ingrid who were trembling from the cold, but who had not suffered any severe damage. Then, she opened the lid of the transportation box. Some faint moaning told her that Melina and Nina were alive, too.
„Well, I would have considered Agadir to be more – urban!“
Dorothea had left her place and was standing beside her. The two checked the area and found that they were on a scree field. At the horizon, they could see some hills and behind them, the atlantic Ocean was glistering in the moonlight. Around them, there was no sign of any civilization.
„Well, at least, we are in Africa and still some day or two ahead of Brahim. We will have to stay here for the night, but tomorrow, we will have to find the next village. Then, we can prepare for the next steps.“
It sounded more optimistic than any of them felt, but they had no other option for the moment. So, they untied and ungagged their five captives and made them stand in a row. Pia looked at them with a mixture od fear, curiosity and anticipation – she obviously still believed in Dorothea`s story of her and Nymphadora being secret agents. Melina was sitting on the pebbles with her arms slung around her legs, looking at her captors with weary fear. Ingrid and Nina were huggin each other, seeming also scared, but defiant and Elke was trying to cover her nude body with her arms, staring daggers at Dorothea who was again holding the toy gun.
„All right, we know what you want to say to us. So, even if you are ungagged, you will have to remain silent. There is no one except us to hear you and we are not interested in your opinion. Now, we will have to take a few precautions and tomorrow, you will be brought to a more pleasant place. With a little bit of luck, all this will be over after another two or three days!“
Dorothea held her little speech in French, German and Italian to ensure that all five damsels understood her. Then, whilst she watched at gunpoint, Nymphadora tied each girl`s ankles with a pair of cuffs, but left them otherwise untied. The captives were allowed to relieve themselves then and after they had returned, Dorothea offered them some of the water and bread they had brought with them. Then, they had to lie down under the plane and Dorothea cuffed one of their ankles to the plane`s undercarriage.
There had been only one blanket aboard and so, when Dorothea and Nymphadora had retired to a nearby tree, they decided to share it, since the night air was considerably cold. It felt strange to sit shoulder to shoulder with the woman who had not long before tied up and gagged her, but it wasn`t as unpleasant as she had feared.
„Let`s hope that our guests won`t have issues to cuddle to each other. If they are too prudish, they might catch a cold.“
Nymphadora`s words were accompanied by a deep yawning and Dorothea joined in. Both women hadn`t slept the night before and both had spent quite some time of the last 24 hours naked, bound and gagged. Dorothea vaguely remembered that they should have guarded their prisoners, but before she could articulate her thoughts, both girls got overwhelmed by their fatigue and fell asleep almost at the same moment.
***
Early the next morning, Brahim woke up his maids and told them to prepare breakfast whilst he stripped to his pants and swam away from the boat to move his muscles. This also gave the three girls some privacy to relieve themselves whilst he was some 100 yards away.
When he came back, he could smell some coffee and see that Sally was sitting beside Elisa with her ankles tied, but otherwise unrestrained. She looked at him with a calm expression and though she considered for a moment to spill the coffee into his face, she took her mug and drank instead. She knew that Brahim had a gun, but since he was currently wearing only his shorts, she could see it was somewhere else and she would not be able to get it on time.
„So, will you tell me now why you have chosen me from all girls to take me with you?“
Brahim finished his sandwich before he answered:
„What do you know about Morocco, Sally?“
„It`s in the North of Africa and currently, it`s divided between the French and the Spaniards. And a few years ago, there was a rebellion that was quite successful.“
Brahim smiled with some appreciation. Not only did this little girl know something about politics, she also behaved calm and talked reasonable, although she was sitting in front of him stark naked. Perhaps, Sally would combine enough beauty, strength and intelligence if his other plan failed.
„This rebellion has indeed led to the founding of the Rif Republic two years ago. Unfortunately, I am afraid that it will be short-lived. The French have established an effective blockade and sooner or later, they will start the reconquering of the area. That is, if they don`t have to split their forces to face another rebellion in the South.“
„And since we Scots are the most famous rebels in history, you abducted me to lead your troops! As a modern Jeanne d` Arc, so to say!“
For a moment, Brahim just stared at her with an open mouth. Then, he laughed heartily. Elisa giggled, too and only Maja didn`t seem to know how to react.
„That`s an interesting idea, I really should think of it! However, I am afraid that your part in my game will involve a harem rather than the battlefield!“
Sally looked at him with her grey eyes. She fought down her fears and concerns and showed that she had understood him quite well:
„So, I am a present for one of your potential allies. Or rather, a part of the present, if Dorothea manages to get after me. But why haven`t you just taken the two of us with you? You already had us both in your hands!“
Brahim fell silent for a moment. He had already known that Sally was no fool, but now, she had shown that she was looking through his secret plans and would soon understand the rest of them, too.
„Time for you to be quiet again“, he said and took the mug from her hand. Sally was bursting from curiosity, but she knew that she would get no answer now. Brahim made her kneel in the middle of the boat, facing the stern, and cuffed her hands behind her back. Sally had to slightly open her thighs to keep balance, but the man had seen – and touched – every part of her body already anyway. Even when he once again pressed Nymphadora`s worn panties between her teeth, she did not try to fight and just let out a small retching sound when the vile taste of the garment reached her senses.
Brahim secured the gag with two rounds of tape. Then, he took a scarf and tied it around her waist. Sally knew what was coming when he took a long leather thong, but before he brought it between her legs, he moistened it with some fresh water. Then, he tied one end to the chain between her ankles. Sally closed her eyes when he threaded the thong through her scarf belt and worked it between her buttocks and labia, gently, but thoroughly. When he had tied off the other end to her belt, just below her navel, Sally felt that the crotch strap was inconvenient, but not painful. However, she remembered a specific attribute of wet leather: once it dried out, it would shrink.
„It`s on you, sweet Sally! If you want to avoid pain, you will have to keep the leather moist. I have let you enough ability to move that you can handle it as you like it!“

When he laughed this time, Sally could see that Maja was smiling, too, whilst Elisa seemed to feel some pity for her. Brahim sat down at the stern and started the boat.
***
The day had begun early for Dorothea and Nymphadora and in their case, it hadn`t started with coffee, but with knocks on their heads, rendering them both unconscious.
Tied to the plane`s undercarriage, the five captives had not been able to get very far, but they had been able to talk to each other. The fact that they could not see anyone had kept them from yelling and instead, they had tried to find an explanation for their abduction. Melina, who didn`t know any of her fellow captives except from seeing them at the hotel before, could at least help in their conversation since she could speak Polish, English, French and Portuguese. So, she was the only one who could talk to Pia, since the three Germans only spoke some French.
„I am almost sure that this story about spies they have told you is just nonsense. And this isn`t an abduction for ransom either. None of us is poor, but there would have been richer persons than us at the hotel and besides, why have they brought us here, in the middle of nowhere?“
Now, after she had recovered a bit from her fears, Melina was able to think reasonable again and so, she could analyse their situation quite well.
„Perhaps, they are white slavers!“
Ingrid grinned wryly, but her voice trembled when she spoke out their worst sorrow. They all had one thing in common: they were considerably pretty. Melina had considered herself to be too old to be of interest for such criminals, but she knew that she was still a sight, too. And their current dresses – or rather, the lack of it – left little to the imagination.
Only Pia was still fully dressed – when she had explaine why she was wearing a wedding dress, she had even seemed a little proud of herself, despite her predicament. Both Nina and Ingrid were dressed in swimsuits matching their hair colour and poor Elke was stark naked. Melina, who was clad in just her underwear and had even been stripped of her underskirt, shuddered when she remembered how the taller of their captors had ripped her clothes from her with considerable glee.
„If they are white slavers, we should better try to get away as soon as possible! I have heard terrible stories about what happened to kidnapped European girls!“, Nina said with upcoming panic.
Melina, who had worked in the West of Africa for some years, knew that most of these stories were exaggerations – most, but not all. Sometimes, a pretty girl disappeared in these areas and none of them ever came back.
„Well, I have just left my pincers in my other panties! Does any of you know how to open these cuffs?“
Ingrid´s question had been rather rethorically, but to her surprise, Melina talked to Pia in Portuguese. After a while, the girl nodded a bit reluctantly and reached under her skirts. The Germans were watching with amazement, but Pia produced a safety pin and handed it to Melina.
„In the archeological camps, we had to repair our equipment by ourselves, including the radio sets and the watches. So, I am quite good in working with improvised tools.“
The other girls forgot about the cold air. Whilst two of them carefully watched the direction where their captors had went to, the other two looked as Melina poked the safety pin into the lock of her ankle cuffs. It seemed to take ages, but finally, her foot came free.
„Now, I know the trick! In a few minutes, we will all be rid of these things!“
Melina could indeed open the other`s cuffs, too. Now, Pia wanted to run away, but Melina stopped her.
„We can`t go like that! Well, you could, but we are a bit too scantily dressed for that part of the world. We have to get some clothes before!“
Always keeping an eye on Dorothea`s and Nymphadora`s sleeping place, the girls searched the plane, but there were no clothes. All they had were the panties and scarves that had been used to gag or hood them.
Blushing slightly, Elke took her discarded yellow panties and put them on. At least, her most intimate part now was covered a bit. To her surprise, Nina and Ingrid removed their swimsuits and put on their panties, too.
„They are salty and that`s quite annoying“, Ingrid explained.
However, three of them were topless now, but Nina had the idea to take the scarves to tie them over their boobs. Still, Pia was the only one who looked decent, but at least, the essentials were no longer exposed now.
However, they still could not go their way, scantily clad as they were. Melina knew that most Arabs and Berbers were noble people and respected the laws of hospitality. But they also had little to no respect to some European women who were hardly covered. If the wrong people detected them in their underwear, they would be little better off.
„There are two more dresses over there!“, Elke hissed, pointing at the place where Dorothea and Nymphadora were sleeping. The others except the fearful Pia nodded and suddenly, Nina climbed into the plane once more. When she came back, she was holding the joystick in her right.
Now, a short, whispered conversation followed. Only Ingrid dared to knock out the two women, but she didn`t want to kill them, no matter what they had done to them. Finally, they wrapped the remaining scarf around the stick to upholster it a bit.
Carefully, the five girls sneaked closer and closer. When they could hear a faint snoring, they knew that their captors were soundly sleeping. Ingrid took a deep breath. Then, she stepped beside the two blondes. She grinned when she saw that one had put her arm around the other. Then, she knocked them out with two hard blows.
Melina quickly checked that the two women were unconscious. Then, they stripped the clothes off them. Ingrid took Dorothea`s dress and Elke that of Nymphadora. To their disgust, they saw that Nymphadora had only been wearing panties beneath.
„We better tie them up before we go“, Melina proposed and so, they fetched the handcuffs and leaned Dorothea against the tree she had been sleeping under and cuffed her wrists behind the bole after they had removed the blonde`s bra. This turned out too big for any of them, but Melina now showed a black piece of cloth: Sally`s panties Nymphadora had hooded her with before.
„We better gag them, too!“, she said with a surprisingly harsh voice. None of the others hindered her when she stuffed the still smelly underwear between the unconscious Dorothea`s lips and tied her bra between her lips. Then, Elke pulled down Dorothea`s white panties, leaving her in just her garters and stockings.
They then leaned Nymphadora against the tree, too, and tied her wrists with another pair of cuffs, in a way that the two women would have sat back to back, but were separated by the tree`s bole. Each girl`s bound hands were resting in the other`s lap.
Elke gagged Nymphadora with Dorothea`s panties and secured these with the scarf that they had used to upholster their stick. Remembering her panty hood, Melina thought of stripping the Russian naked, too, but then, Nina approached with the discarded swimsuits and a roll of tape she had found, too, smiling gleefully.
So, they hooded the two blondes with the swimsuits, taking care that the panty part covered their faces. They then used the whole roll of tape to wrap it around both their heads at mouth level, further securing their gags and pressing their heads against the tree.
„Now, we will not be the only one to hope that we will be able to get to a police station soon. If their slaver colleagues will find them first, they will perhaps face the fate they have had in mind for us!“
Since Melina`s and Nina`s feet were the most petite, the two others took the shoes of the boud women. Then, Elke suddenly brought the remaining handcuffs and handed one to Ingrid.
„Just a last punishment for these two!“
She tied a cuff to Dorothea`sd left ankle and bent her leg. Ingrid did the same to Nymphadora`s right leg and they tied the two ankles together. When they had done the same to Drothea`s right and Nymphadora`s left leg, both girls had to sit with folded legs which would sure become very inconvenient soon.
When the girls now collected together everything from the plane what could be useful for their escape, this was rather disappointing. They found two bottles of water and some bread – enough for perhaps one ot two days. There were no clothes, no shoes and no weapons. And without shoes, the barefoot Melina and Nina would not be able to get very far. However, Ingrid`s and Elke`s sandals and Pia`s pumps didn`t offer much protection. In addition, Melina and Nina were still only clad in underwear and had to share their only blanket.
Suddenly, Pia started to work on her dress. The skirt of the wedding dress actually consisted of a billowed outer skirt and a set of three underskirts beneath. Pia removed everything except the last underskirt. It only reached to her knees and was a bit transparent, but she handed the other two to Nina and Melina. The skirts were sweaty, but gratefully, the two women put them on. Then, they ripped the outer skirt and wrapped the rags around their feet. They still were in no condition to walk long distances, but now, they could at least walk over the pebbles without hurting their soles.
„Does anyone have the slightest idea where we are?“, Nina asked.
„At the coast of Morocco“, Melina said with a laugh. Then, her face cheered up a bit.
„We have been flying from Madeira almost directly, I presume. That means that we can`t be too far from Agadir where we will find a French garrison. I have no idea how long it will be, but if we follow the shoreline, we must find Agadir or another village sooner or later. Let`s go, girls!“
